I followed recipes for many years as I learned to cook. Now I can cook my own dishes. If I feel like susi, I cut sushi. If I want dimsum, I boil the meat and cabbage, add the herbs and spices and roll my own pastry.

In each of us, the measure of our silat is unique to who we are in total.
We are not really PD, Gayong, Kuntao, Serak, Kyokushinkai, Cimande, Haqq Melayu, Aikido, Tonglong or Bagua. We are people who search for guiding principles to use your body to move in certain ways to achieve specific outcomes. Like in cooking, we follow recipes until we can invent spontaneously ... and sometimes what looks like a brilliant recipe fails to nourish.
Does your cooking work for you?
And when do we stop exploring recipes?
